The Triple-P
Rating **** out of *****
The triple-p is a very simple rescue technique. There are no
fancy manoeuvres no glitz and nothing “sexy”. It is nice, simple and easy.
Triple-p which stands for, parallel park and pump is one of the best rescue
techniques you can perform in rough water. There are 4 steps to a ppp rescue.
Step 1 – The rescuer must come up beside the capsized kayak and commit your
weight onto the overturned kayak. Next you need to secure the paddles and then
roll the kayak back upright while still leaning toward the overturned kayak.
After the rescuer leans all his weight on to the now upright kayak while
securely gripping it while the swimmers re-enters his kayak. Finally the
kayaker gets into his kayak, fitting everything back so no more water enters.
Following these steps you can perform your own ppp rescue.
